Toes, Overlapping

Definition:

Objective: Describes a foot digit resting on the dorsal surface of an adjacent digit when the foot is at rest

Comments:

This descriptor is ordered depending on which toes are involved. The overriding toe is labeled, as specified in the introduction (item 3): for example, T3,4. The ordering of the numbers specifies which toe is dorsal, that is, with dorsum of the foot facing upward the toe on top is/are recorded first separated by a comma from the digit that is/are overlapped. Toes that are laterally deviated, but do not rest on top of adjacent toes should be coded as Clinodactyly.
